Leading up to National Poppy Day, a virtual 5K is being held throughout May to raise awareness and support for this significant day of remembrance. ALA members are encouraged to participate however they’re able to: walking, running, swimming, biking, etc.! Be creative!
To participate, make an encouraged $25 donation to your local unit or state department Poppy Fund. Complete the 5K (3.1 miles) in whatever activity you choose between May 1-22. Be sure you’re branded, wear your poppy gear, and take loads of pictures!
Registration closes April 30. For the first 700 registrants only, race medals are available. To register, go here!
Don’t forget to post and share in the American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Program Facebook group
Email high-resolution, actual-size pictures to Poppy@ALAforVeterans.org. Once you’ve emailed, you will receive a Certification of Completion to fill out and print.
Keep an eye on our ALA social media accounts @ALAforVeterans for more about the 5K! Let’s make this an unforgettable National Poppy Day!
